Retirement Readiness Countdown

If retirement is on the horizon, you likely have questions about your financial future. Like many people nearing retirement age, you might wonder:

  • Should I accept my employer's pension as a lump sum or in monthly payments?
  • Do I have enough money saved?
  • Should I take Social Security now or wait?
  • Will Medicare cover all of my medical expenses in retirement?
  • When do I have to start making withdrawals from my retirement accounts?
